There isn't enough significant coverage to suggest the notability of this article. Everything I've seen is local news coverage. The only non-statistical information is the "Impact on sports" section, but that only details general impact that is standard across the US. The other stuff is just statistical information, and Wikipedia is WP:NOTSTATS.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 22:00, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

• With all due respect to the nominator, I vote to keep this article simply based on the unprecedented development of this pandemic and sheer amount of coverage added to Wikipedia articles. There are articles for almost all 50 U.S. states. Just for the sake of organizing content across so many articles, I'd like to see this article kept and renominated in a month if coverage is still lacking. I understand others may not consider this a valid argument for keeping, and that's fine, that's just my honest gut reaction. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
• Keep. Digging through the news reports reveals more going on that just infection statistics. There has been, for example, specific government action. I have added this to the article. BD2412 T 22:16, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
• Keep. I've added a new timeline item bearing a new confirmed case and given all timeline items a citation. Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝)

• Comment: at the very least, this should be redirected to another article, such as U.S. state and local government response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic#Wyoming per WP:ATD-R. TJMSmith (talk) 22:27, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
• Keep Is their anything I should add to make it useful? I already added a lot of information to it. I'm also trying to earn a barnstar, such as the COVID-19 Barnstar. Prairie Astronomer (talk) 22:59, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
• Keep: The US is, unfortunately, still just at the beginning of this fast-moving crisis. I'm sure there will be more content on this page coming soon. — Toughpigs (talk) 23:24, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
• keep One of articles for almost all 50 U.S. states. there will be more content on this page coming soon. Nehaoua (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
• Comment: Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL though. I agree that there is a very high likelihood that this page will soon have enough sources to be expanded. However, until then, the article shouldn't be in the mainspace. I agree with TJMSmith that redirecting the page would be a good idea.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 00:36, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
• Keep - deleting it now and then creating it again in a week, probably after a deletion review, is just a waste of time. Anyway, it's already notable within Wyoming and there is no requirement for national or international news to report about things. --mfb (talk) 09:46, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Even so, there is national coverage. I just added an article from the LA Times showcasing Wyoming as an example of a remote state experiencing the consequences of coronavirus. BD2412 T 13:38, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
